Copper cob 1

[Tuberale]

Looking for what this may be

Guessing copper content.

Photo copper1 seems to show a reeded semi–circle under a castle.

Photo copper1a shows a central shield with a rearing lion and curled tail facing left. On the extreme right outside the shield may be several numbers including either a 0 or O.

Another maravedis coin; dated 16XX.
Don.....
PS: Did you find them?

 

[Tuberale]

No, but wish I had. Purchased online from a seller in Southern California. Said to have been found with a metal detector "eroding out of a hillside" after some bad fires.

Probably just up the road from you Don!

DW: Right ! All I need now are the GPS coordinates.

 

[Tuberale]

Can't provide coordinates. Description of site provided by seller suggests near the Pacific, but near the top of a ridge recently blackened entirely by fire. That should cut it down to just a few thousand acres ...

....and a thousand miles of coastline; not a problem.

<G> That's why it's called treasure hunting. Treasure finding is usually under the banner, isn't it.?
